arThe Bill providing for holding all
Congressional elections on the same day
passed the lower House of Congress. The
Second Tuesday of November is the day
fixed. Shot ld the bill become a law be
fore the next. Congressional election, we
shall have two elections this fall, one in
October and the other in November.
There are some good reasons for the pas
sage of the bill. With the irregular times
of the Congressional elections now exist
ing, it is impossible that a full assembly
of a new Congress canbe bad in ease of
emergency, for several months of the year.
Crawford County System
What trials and tribulations the "Ring
masters" are having, in order to putty up
the worm-holes of their political corrup
tion, and regain their lost phwer in the
county. At first they call a Convention
to adopt a new system of nominations,
and clothe themselves in " lion's skins,"
hoping'to worm themselves into the con
fidence of the nnsnspecting, and get their
paws on their victims once more. But the
nature of the animal could not be con
cealed—his voice and long ears betrayed
him—and only a few were deceived into
the formal adoption of the Crawford coun
ty system. And now, forsooth, the Coun
ty Committee, met on Monday, 11th, and
repealed the law, and "Resolved that each
election district send two delegates as
heretofore." Will this second " dispensa
tion"-have any phrifying effect upon the
albumen!. We would here ask pardon if
we have again encroached upon the pri
vate hours of grief of any of our cotempo
raries, for we are still cognizant of the
fact " that it is not our funeral ;" but
"Truth is immortaband must flourish like
a green bay tree."
The McFnrland Trial
This trial is still progressing with una
bated interest, there being a large num
ber of ladies interspersed among the
audience.
The evidence which has been intro
duced thus far tends to show that McFar
land has been under great distiess of
mind, all of which had been brought on
by the unhappy condition of affairs in his
family relations, and tending to show that
Richardson. with Mrs. St. Clair and Mrs.
Calhoun as actromplices, had constantly
and stealthily been poisoning the mind of
Mrs. McFarland. by filling it with delu
sive dreams of greatness as an actor upon
the stage, and as an authoress ; and urg
ing hbr on to that step from the path of
honor and virtue, which finally resulted
an such a tragical end.
From the tone of the letters which they
were constantly writing to her, it clearly
appears that Mm McFarland herself was
upbraided in her own conscience by the
awful consequences of such a , course, and
that it required the acceszory of such art
ful women as Mrs. Calhoun and Mrs. St
Clair to obtain her confidence and weave
a web for her downfall, as none but re
vengeful woman can. The following are
the style of letters intercepted by McFar
land :
LETTER FRON MRS. CALIIOI. N
Friday. Morning. Feb. 22
My Dear Child—What can I say to
comfort thee. My heart bleeds over thee. I
Would I could enfold thee forevermore.—
My darling, were it not for Percy' should
take you away and keep you as soon as I
go home. Ido not suppose Mr. C. would .
let me keep him. My precious, you must i
make your decision. It is profanation for
you to stay with that man. You shall not.
'o woman ought to put her womanhood
to open shame, as you have been farted to
do fur years. It is most cruel, most den il
ish. Yon cannot work. You van not ad

ture for yourself and children while you
stay. There is no justice, no reason. no
hope in your doing it. You will leave him
scathless. The world is more generous
than we think about these things. Every
thoughtful man or woman will justify you,
and you can shake off your shackles and
work with free hands It is dreadful to
have you fight against such odds. I think
von could live yourself, and Percy, for
what you earn now. If you can only be
free, so that you can improve, your salary
can increase. It is wonderful that you
have been able to do anything with your
disabilities, and I do not think now
you may. so much. 0, do leave him my
darling. It is so wrong that you should
stay with him.

The following are extracts from Mr&
Calhoun's letter& Under date of Aug. 20,
elle Faye :
I hope your desire and purpose for the
stage has not faded, nor been trampled on
by the hard hoofs of necessity. Have yon
had encouragement. I am very useless
in that way, having Ti °direct influence in
that way, but I'll try to obtain some. I
know you would succeed, and I folly be
lieie it to be your noblest and best work.
Nothing so much as the stage needs good
lives and good heads. I could help you
in the direction of your wardrobe, but I
feel that there is not much else I can do.
Of course I know the life is by no means
an easy one. I know that I counsel you to
discouragement and toil and contact with
' coarse people and sights, and if I had half
the confidence in my powers that I have
in yours, I should have been on the stage
months ago, and I know that I should not
have failed. I think you have so many
gifts ; your beautiful voice, your cling
mg color, your varying soulful' face, your
' earnestness and freshness of nature, your
love for your art and your love for your
children ; you have also the highest in-
Dear child, I wish I could make your
path straight and smooth to highest suc
cess, butmnly that success is highest to
which we make our way with pain and
toil. When you come back we will have
long talks about this matter, and see if
we cannot make our eager ambition give
place to excellent doing.
Under date of Ist, without month or
year, Mrs. C. says :
Do you know what is my panecea for
all my woes ? Mr. Richardson. Nobody
is half so kind or unselfish as he. And
when I am " stuck," as the newspapers
say, I must tell him, and his chmr.com
mon sense and kind heart always finds a
way to smooth paths again. Therefore, if
he were here I should just touch him
with a whole story and send him to see
Stewart, whom he knows very well. Alas,
he left for Kansas on Wednesday, and my
right hand is wanting, so I must even du
the next best thing.
The Sun says :—General Robert E.
Lee's journey to Florida. whither he goes
to recruit his health, like the progress of
a conqueror. At every railroad station he
is welcomed by enthusiasticadmirera while
in the large towns and cities the ovations
rendered to him partake very much of the
nature of an old fashioned rebel demon
strations.
The same paper calls this a " revival of
secession sentiment." This cannot be, for
the only secession party we now have in
the country are the Radicals who stand,
where the '..t,uth stood, and advocate the
doctrine the South advocated, in 1861
when the war broke out. The South now
accepts the situation and yields the con
test, but the Radical party have taken up
the "Lost Cause," and repudiate the
Northern doctrine that the war was a "war
for the Union." There never was a more
noted instance on record, of parties chang
ing sides, after a great war.
Good Friday as a Monday.
During the recent session of the Legis
lature, an attempt was made to bare the
Act of Assembly of 1869, making " Gopd
Friday" a legal holiday, repealed. This
attempt was voted down, therefore, the
original act is still in force, to which we
invite the attention of the public. It is
las follows :
SEc. 1. Be it enacted, &a, That from
and after the rassage of this act, Good
Friday, in each and every year, shall be
deemed and proclaimed as a public holi
day, and shall be duly observechis such;
the payment of all notes, checks., bills of
exchange or other instruments negotiable
by the laws of this Commonwealth, and
becoming payable on said Good Friday,
shall be deemed to become due on the se
cular day next preceding the aforemen
tioned day, on which said secular day de
mand of payment may be made; and in
ease of nonpayment or dishonor of the
same, protest may be made, and notice
given in the same manner as if such notes,
checks, bills of exchange or other instni
raen ts fell dne on the day of such demand ;
and the rights and liabilities of all parties
concerned therein shall be the same as in
other cases of like instruments legally
proceeded with : Provided. That nothing
herein contained shall be so construed as
to render void any demand, notices or
protest made or given as heretofore at the
option of the holder, nor shall the same be
so constructed as to vary the rights of the
; parties to any such instrutnents heretofore
executed.
The Coal Trade.
The Coal Operators' Association of the
l.•high region adopted on the Ist instant,
the following prices of coal at Mauch
Chunk, for the month of ApriL These
prices are for the line generally. The
coal that is shipped is sold on hoard ves
sels at the shipping ports:

Steamboat 3 25

Chestnut 3 00
The Schuylkill county coal miners have
again struck. Consumers may derive
consolation from the facts that the mark
et is already well supplied, and that the
Lackawanna and Lehigh districts refuse
to support the strikers. The men of these
latter places bare learned by sad exper
ience how expensive strikes are, and have
resolved not to reject fair compensatioh.

that the existence of the Legislature for
one hour beyond the date named in the

of Congressional usurpation. Mr, Ferry

A Big Tannery.
Elk county, Pennsylvania, has the I
largest tannery in the world. It is known
as the " Wilcox Tannery," and was built
three years ago. The proprietors own 25,-
000 acres of land on the Clarion river, all
heavily covered with hemlock. The bark
mills of the concern are in a building 45
by 100 feet, two stories high, and capable
of grinding seventy-five cords of bark per
day. These mills are driven by an eighty
horse power engine, and the only fuel is
spent tan. The leaching house is 28 by
210 feet, and two stories high, it contains
twelve leaches of immense size. The
"sweat pit" is 70 by 90 feet, of stone.
Seven hundred vats are now in use. The
company makes nothing but sole leather.
and of this the graduct is 120,000 aides
per annum : thbugh when the tannery
shall be completed 200,000 sides will be
I turned out- The consumption of bark is
14,000 cords per year. The company has
erected twenty-eight tenant houses, and
employs from 150 to 300 men, at wages
ranging from 820 to 870 per month. Ihe
capital in vetted foots up at about 8500,-
000, and nearly 15,000,000 feet of hem
lock lumber is manufactured every year
at the company's milli. The bides used
are imported (rum South America. It

them.
rThe Radicals of Indiana are in
somethini; of a squabble. A prominent.
one said the other day, that the Republi
can party had " stall-fed the Dutch long
enough,and now, as it bud niggersenongh
to offset the German rote, the Dutch
might go." To show that the party could
get along without the aid of the Germans,
the convention to nominate candidates for
the various offices fur Marion county, did
not put a German on the ticket, notwith
standing several were urged for positions.
The radicals have invisibly had enough of
the "sweet German accent," as they long

brogue." This indicates that hereafter
their ambition will be to secure the negro
vote, and that they will now tnrn their
backs on the element that has kept tnem
in power for many years. They cannot
bear an Irishman ors German, and now
they are growing bold enough to admit it.

"PARIS HY SUNLIGHT AND GASLIGHT,"
4 work descriptive of the Mysteries and
Miseries, the Virtues, Vices, Splendors,
and Crimes of the City of Paris.—By
James D. McCabe. Jr. National Publish-
ing Co., Philadelphia.
We knowsof no book that we have rend
with more pleasure and profit to ourselves
than this. It abounds in sparkling de- 1
scriptions of the gay Metropolis by night
and day, and the pictures of celebrites in
that wicked but fascinating city are per- l
feet. We wander amidst the time-hal
lowed
monuments of the past, are dazzled 1
bp the magnifience of the present, dine in 1
the glittering Cafes of the Palais Royal, 1
stroll with the merry crowds along the 1
Boulevards, and look on at the Jardin '
Mabille, where the original Can-ran is
nightly danced to the most voluptuous !
strains. Our author. seems to have the
nice discrimination of an artist, and paints'
only those pictures for his renders which
will be gladly seized upon and appreciated.
There is, however, no point of any inter- 1
est that be slights, and one may rend this 1
book and easily imagine himself behold
ing the very thing ho reads of. It is a for
cible illustration of the old adage, " truth
is stranger than fiction," for the author'
has given us pictures which, though true
to the life, are so strange and seemingly
full of romance, that one ean hardly 14-
lieve them real. But the book is far from
being an exaggrretion. Our readers will
recognize its fairness at once by the mod
eration of its statements, and the absence
of superlatives from its pages, and all who
pursue it will agree with us that no more
remarkable awl deeply interesting book
has been offered to the public for many
years, How can it be otherwise, when it
is a faithful picture of the most fascina
ting city in the world ? It is very absorb
ing, anti we are sure no one who takes it
up will put it down mireatl. It is illustra
ted n ill, ISO ittgs, by the nest
artists of France :—Oore, Therond
and others—and the letter-press isperfect.
The volume is sold only by subscription.
THE LADY JURORS SAYING THEIR
PRAYERS.-A little circumstance connec
ted with the late term of Court comes to
our knowledge, which we are inclined to
make public, even at the risk of betraying
confidence. Diming the long tsqlion4
Howie murder trial, t he jury (of whom one
half were ladies), were not permitted to
seperate and go to their homes, but were,
under the charge of bailiffs (one lady and
one gentleman), taken to the hotel for
their meals, and lodging was provided fur
them in the adjoining parlors, each tinder
the charge of their bailiff. And here, ev
ery morning during the trial; upon rising
from their beds, these ladies kneeled to
gether, and, like the child Solomon, asked
wisdom of God to enable them to properly
and wisely discharge their new and ardu
ous duties. While their male associates
were engaged in boisterous mirth and tri
fling levity, they, with the full conscious
ness of the responsibility resting upon
them, were seeking aid at the throne of
the All-wise.
jr4r We always admired the following
exquisite speech, delivered the other even
ing, by His Excellency President Grant,
at the Army Reunion in Philadelphia, for
the two thousand and twenty-second time:
"I am happy to meet" so many Af my
old comrades of the Army of the Potomac.
I would be glad if I could express my
feelings on this occasion. I regret that
cannot do so, and can only thank you for
this kind reception."
It is to be deeply deplored that the Pres
ident labors under so great a disadvantage
that he " cannot express his feelings."
There are men who are not President who
possess far greater advantages. For in
stance, it was only the other day that a
man in Cleveland "expressed a dog," and
then didn't half try—to pay the expres.s
charges on it—a fact, in consequence of
which, Grant "expressed" a determina
tion not to accept the gift. We would
suggest the employmen t of an express com
pany the next time Ulysses wants to deliv
er his feelings to his friends. True, ex
press companies are common carriers, but
none the less respectable because the law
makes them 80. There should be some
sure, safe and capacious channel for the
transmission of Presidential wisdom and
gratitude, to say nothing of eloquence.

We ore having beautiful spring like weather.
and the "bud and swelling fear give indications '
that warm settled weather will soon intervene..
The usual April showers thus far have not visit- ;
ed us, although there is yet time for much on-
pleesant weather. The rivers are still high af
fording n fine boating stage and immense quan
titles of lumber is being rafted down the Alle- 1
gheny. The city is full of mftsmen, much of
the lumber being disposed of here, and the hardy
sons of the forest spend a great deal of their
hard earned money here, among the places of
amusement, anti too often among the hundreds
of liquor saloons which are a curse to our city.
The negro element appears to be coming out
in great force since the Fifteenth Amendment
passed, and to-day an Americanized African in
this city has his own way, and can do as he or'
she pleases in cars,places of public amusement,
or on the street. There is to be a grand celebra- '
lion hem on the 26th of the present month, in i
which the entire darkey population of Allegheny
county, "horse, foot and dragoons," military and ,
civil, will appear. Already they are making ar
rangements
to vote and to choose their officers I
for the coming primary elections. The bead I
waiter at the Monongahela House, our fashion- ;
able hotel, has already been sought out as the '
colored candidate for mayor, and signified his
assent In one of the radical papers of the city,
this morning. As Allegheny county has between I
6,000 and 7,000 amendments, no doubt but that
there will be lively times the coming spring.
Travel is increasing rapidly westward and a ,
large number of Pennsylvanians about this re
gion are emigrating to lowa, Kansas, Minnesota '
and other western points. Rents are so high, i
the cost of living so very expensive, and wages ,
so low, that it is almost impossible for a man of
moderate means to live here, hence good Indus- l i
trious citizens are actually driven away by force
of circumstances. A reaction must sooner or I
later take place as this state of things cannot
last long. To day, Pittsburgh is the dearest 1
place in the Union to reside in, especially as far
as the common necessaries of life are concerned.'
Our Allegheny city Park, which when com
pleted will be one of the finest In the Union, is'
being rapidly beautified. Boulevards, serpen
tine walks, rustic arbors, fountains and onto
' mental bridges, crossing the railroad tracks are
being erected, and it is thought that this expense
alone will consume over $300,000. The lake is
I to be lengthened, widened and deepened, boat
houses are to be erected, and a number of im
ported swans am to be Introduced. From 70 to
178 acres will be improved this summer, and no
doubt that the Park when completed wilily one
of the most beautiful in the Union. The Alle
gheny county Soldiers Monument will be loca
ted on Seminary Rill, over-looking the Park,
which will add much to its beauty. The only
drawback at present is the unsightly looking
Penitentiary which still stands in the centre of
the Park, but which it is thought will be re- 1
moved in process of' time by legislation.
I This being Passion Week in the Catholic and
I Episcopal churches, special services are being
I held relative to the occasion of a most interest
! ing and impressive character. Friday which is
Good Friday will close the Lenten services, and
t I will be observed in this city by the banks, and
the business offices, all of which Will be closed.
The Public Schools however passed a vote last
night not to notice the day In any form, but to
centime their sessions as usual. On Saturday
night Mr. Canning, manager of the Opera
Home, gives a rand masked ball at his place

Trouble about the "Coming Man" In
California.
A San Francisco despatch .says
Various county clerks refuse to muster
the colored men as voters until the opin
ion of the Attorney-General of the State
is received. Over fifty Democratic mem
bers have addressed a letter to the elerk
of Sacramento congratulating him on his
refusal to enroll the colored people as vu,
tern under the Meeuth amendment, sta
ting that they will support him with all
the moral, and if needed all the physical,
force God had given them
e Attorney General of California has
given'an opinion that until the State law
is changed, or Congress adopts some leg
islation in the matter, it will be the duty
of county clerks to refuse the registration
of colored men.
07 - Senator Thurman is commended by
many leading papers for his resistance to
heavy land grants to railroad corporations.
The Philadelphia Ledger remarks, there
is hope that the persistent opposition of
Judge Thurman in the United States
Senate, to the land grant subsidy system,
may eventually so awaken the attention of
the whole country to the nefarious rob
beries carried on through that system, as
to save a large slice of our immense do
main for the nest generation ; but those
who feel the burden of taxation, and look
to the credit of the nation, must rouse
early.
